And thats exactly why I bought this, I dont want noise and I wanted OEM looking  :happy2: and yes the ITG does look like Blue Peter Toilet roll and grannies clunge sponge stuck on the end  :signLOL:

.... :signLOL: That's a brilliant description of its visual appearance. But dare I ask how you know what a granny's clunge sponge looks like!?

Don't really get people who say they want a good looking intake.any1 would think that you were getting married to it. :love:unless you own a show car does it really matter how something that spends all its life under the bonnet and rarely gets seen that important.intakes are there to do a job at the end of the day and that's to aid performance and sound.

....I don't get people who don't want any intake sound but I say Each To Their Own - We all have our individual preferences. My car is definitely go and not show but I often get asked to open my bonnet and I can appreciate the contents of a nice looking engine bay.

There's no reason why a piece of industrial design can't look good as well as be good functionally Porsche designs are a good example.

ETTO as far as I am concerned, but personally I dont like the look of the ITG it reminds of something you would see under the bonnet of an RS Turbo, I big pipe with a sponge on the end, I prefer the OEM look of the Volant it suits what I need/wanted and being a fan of Intakes that do the job without shouting and gurgling is all the better, some like the chavvy sounds, some don't  :happy2:
